Keep Your Home California was a federally-funded program to help California homeowners struggling to pay their mortgages. California distributed over $2 billion over the course of the program, working with housing counselors and servicers to provide assistance to eligible homeowners and prevent avoidable foreclosures. The program has ended, but you can find more information on Keep Your Home California on their web site at: http:// www.KeepYourHomeCalifornia.org

CalHFA cannot give tax advice or financial counsel, as every home and owner presents a unique situation, and we do not have financial advisors on staff. The best thing to do would be to consult a tax attorney or CPA to find the implications of a short sale on your home, as state and federal regulations can be very confusing. The best course of action to find out about the tax implications of any aspect of your home is to talk with a financial advisor.
